A bad day

A week had passed since my first day in Hogwarts. The lessons in this school were both interesting and exciting. I had learnt lots of new things which I had never come across before. Me, Mr. Crepsley and Dumbledore met in the courtyard every night in order to report what I had seen and done.

The first lesson today was Hagrid's lesson. We all sat on the ground in a circle around him.

"We're going to learn about vampires today." I smirked when I heard that. A vampire learns about vampires. Weird. Let's see what they think we are.

"I don't have the actual thing to show you but there is a picture of a vampire on p.47 in your textbook." My eyes widened when I saw the picture in my textbook. It was a painting of Mr. Crepsley, holding Madame Octa on his hand. I nearly burst out laughing. Guess Mr. Crepsley is kind of popular.

"So," Hagrid started talking. "Vampires…they're cunning and disgraceful night creatures." I got a bit angry when hearing the word 'disgraceful'. I guessed I would have to put up with it though. No one except Dumbledore knew what vampires really were in Hogwarts. I kept on listening.

"They burnt under sunlight. They drain every single drop of blood from their prey," That's not true! Hagrid continued. "They're blood sucking monsters with no self-control." What? He sure has something against vampires. I held my fist tight, trying not to explode. "Overall you can just say they're mindless beasts." I couldn't stand it anymore.

"They are not mindless!" I burst out. Everybody in class turned to me immediately.

"Sorry Darren? What'd you say?" Hagrid asked.

"How do you know about them? Have you ever seen one before?" I asked, trying not to show my temper.

"The textbook tells you all about them! I've never seen one before, and I will never want to."

"Vampires won't drain blood from people. They just take a little amount. Only the vampaneze drain blood!" I retorted agitatedly, standing up.

"Where'd you hear about that Darren? And what the heck is…'vampaneze'?" Hagrid asked, confused.

"Because I…" I stopped. I forgot everyone was listening. That was close. I sighed and calmed myself down. "Because I've read it in another book before…" I tried to make up an excuse.

"Well I think you should make sure the source is reliable before you read it. Now sit back down." I sat down, burying my face in my textbook. Damn. Now everyone would think I was a weirdo. I didn't listen to Hagrid for the rest of the lesson since I didn't want to hear any more of his ridiculous assumptions.


After lunch me, Harry, Ron and Hermione were in the courtyard, chilling out. They were chatting but I just listened, not bothering to join in since I was still in the bad mood about what Hagrid said about vampires.

"Potter…and his new weird friend." A voice rang out and we all turned around. It was Malfoy with his two followers.

"Shut it Malfoy. Can't you see no one wants you here? Go away." Ron said but he ignored him. He turned to me instead.

"I can now see why you are friends with Potter…coz you're weird as well, freaky-Spider-Control-Boy." He teased and the other two boys laughed. "You got mad because Hagrid was saying things about vampires…"

I glared at him. "Oh let's see if he gets mad about this…" He said to his two followers and then back to me again. "Vampires are stupid."

"Don't be so immature Malfoy." Harry said by my side. Malfoy ignored him and continued.

"They have no brains and they won't come out in sunlight because they think they are too ugly to show people their faces!" That's it. I have had enough. I grabbed his collar with my right hand and pulled him closer towards me. We were no more than five centimetres to each other.

"Never, and I mean never, insult vampires in front of me." I whispered in his ear, in a tone that no one else could hear, and then locked eyes with him. "You hear me?" I said in my normal tone again and he flinched. I guessed it was the killing look which I was giving him.

"Goyle, Crabbe, do something!" He panicked and yelled. His two followers ran towards me, one on my left side and the other on my right, attempting to punch me. I acted instantly and pushed Malfoy towards the boy on my right. They landed on the ground, one on top of each other. The boy on my left side was still attempting to punch me. I dodged and stuck out a foot. He tripped on it and fell. I walked towards Malfoy which was slowly getting back up.

"Don't you dare come near me you filthy little low life!" He warned as he took out his wand from his robe. I ignored his warning, and snatched the wand off his hand with vampire speed that human eyes could hardly catch. He stared at me in horror when he realized that the wand was gone from his hand.

"Give me that back!" he yelled.

"Say please." I said coolly. He didn't. Instead he threw himself at me, trying to snatch the wand from my hand. I simply stepped aside. He lost his balance and went crashing onto the ground.

"I guess you don't want it then." I held the wand over my head in a javelining position and threw it as hard as I could towards the castle top. It went flying over the castle and disappeared from sight. Malfoy was now in a sitting position, staring at me in disbelief. His chin was bruised and his face was covered in mud. His eyes were full of both terror and hatred. I smirked. Watching him like that sure made me felt better.

"Let's go. Lessons start in five minute." I turned back to my friends and said. They were staring at me as well.

"How'd you…" Ron wanted to speak but Hermione stopped him. "Yeah let's go." We went, leaving everyone in the courtyard confused and amazed.


The next lesson was potions. It was taught by a weird looking teacher called Snape, he was dressed in black from head to toe, his long shoulder length black hair merging with the colour of his robes.

"We are going to make a potion which can make animals transform into human form. The ingredients are as follow: ginger roots, bat wings, Ashwinder eggs and human blood. Follow P.106 in the textbook." We got the ingredients on the front desk and started to make the potion individually.

After I had made the potion I looked around the room. I was the first one to finish. I noticed there was still blood remaining in the bottle I used. I remembered that I hadn't had any in a few days' time. I held the bottle up and looked around again. No one was watching…I held it closer to my lips.

"Master Shan, what do you think you're doing?" A voice bellowed causing me to drop the bottle immediately. It landed on the floor and smashed completely, the red liquid spilling all over the floor, and onto my shoes. It was Snape. Shit.

"Did you just intend to drink that?" he asked sternly, looking at me right in my eyes. I felt guilty and diverted from his gaze.

"Er…no…I was just smelling it." He stared at me, eyes glinting with disbelieve.

"Well I better not find you doing it again, now clear the mess up." He said as he walked away. Everybody in class was watching me as I picked up the pieces of the bottle and cleared the blood away.

"Get back to your work!" Snape shouted and everyone concentrated back onto their potions. I sighed. Guess it isn't my day today.


[NOT DARREN'S POV]

Harry, Ron and Hermione were sitting together in the common room, chatting. Darren went back to the boys' dormitory first because he said he wasn't feeling very well.

"There's something strange about Darren…" Hermione said suddenly.

"You mean the fact that he can control spiders?" Ron asked.

"Yes, but it was not just that…you see, he went mad when he heard what Hagrid and Malfoy said about vampires, and couldn't you see how fast he snatched that wand from Malfoy?" she paused for a second and continued. "I suspect that he is a vampire."

"Oh don't be silly Hermione; have you ever seen him drinking any blood?" Harry said.

"No but I am sure he didn't just want to smell the blood in potions today! I could tell he was going to drink it, which was until Snape stopped him!" Hermione retorted.

"Yeah but at the end, you didn't see him drinking it. By the way, vampires burnt under sunlight! How can he be a vampire?"

"Actually I kind of agree with Hermione," Ron interrupted. Harry and Hermione looked at him, waiting for him to continue. "You know, I see him sneaking out from the dormitory every night at midnight and I'm sure he wasn't going to the toilet since he wouldn't come back for at least half an hour."

"I bet he is out for someone's blood!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Well if you two guys are really that suspicious about him being a vampire there is only one way to find out." Harry said.

"What is it?" Ron and Hermione both said.

"Follow him to see what he is up to at night."

"How though? If he really is a vampire, surely he'll be able to hear us following him, or at least sense us." Ron asked.

Harry grinned. "The invisible cloak." Ron and Hermione grinned as well.


[Unknown Person's POV]

That smelly half-vampire hadn't done anything special during the week but, today he nearly revealed himself in Hagrid's lesson…I was stunned when he said the word 'vampaneze' …He must be here because what my master and his clan plan to do. He knew and he was here to help. He nearly drank that blood in front of everybody in Potion class but that stupid Snape stopped him! I Wish everyone finds out he was a vampire. What would they do? Burn him to death or something? That would be fun, watching them cheer as his body burnt. Anyway my master told me to try to get closer to him in order to gain his trust and keep an eye on him, so I guess that would be my priority from now on.


Here is another chapter for you guys…:)
